Wilding - let the flowers do their own thing and they will drop their seeds naturally and reappear in the following year if conditions are right.
In the first year the red clover and cornflower may dominate .
In following years the other species should come to the fore.
Herbaceous Borders - thin out to 30cm intervals and keep the bed free of weeds until the plants have become established. Collect seeds once they are ready to harvest to sow again in the following season.
